KEYNOTE: Digital Badges and the Future of Learning

Conference Archive

DevLearn 2015 Conference & Expo - September 30, 2015

Connie Yowell

Director of Education MacArthur Foundation

Education and training have traditionally been measured in
limited ways; course completions and test scores are routinely used as the
context through which we describe learning as having taken place. Digital badges
provide a more in-depth method for students and workers to demonstrate their
knowledge and skills and give employers a new way to assess critical skills
such as creativity, communication, teamwork, and adaptability. In this
thought-provoking session, Connie Yowell will examine the current state of
badges in education and training, exploring what’s working and what
opportunities still need to be explored. You will leave this session inspired
to reexamine the ways your organization measures and credentializes learning
and competency.
